Franco has a particular taste for ridiculous images and actions. For about 10 years he has gathered a wide array of ephemera documents of an impulsive teenager daily life: in which most of the time, the main characters in his drawings are penises and sexual mockery phrases, snap shot photos, filming video in alcohol fueled parties and all kind of middle class events; seudo-performance, playbacks and other actions close to the carnivalesque. From an unconscious autobiography, Franco has found peculiarities in the “ordinary documentation ” that has interfered in his production. Some of these themes are: evocation about naivety and perversion, sexual impulse, social decay, capitalism internal behavior, commercial systems and the corruption of humane nature.
Cristian Franco lives and works in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.
